We understand your concern and are here to intercede with you in prayer. The Bible tells us, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." (Ephesians 4:29 WEB) and also, "If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless." (James 1:26 WEB)
It's crucial to pray for this family member, asking God to fill their heart with love, kindness, and wisdom. Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family member who has been speaking negatively. We pray that You will touch their heart, Lord, and help them to understand the power of their words. Let their speech be seasoned with grace, that it may impart life and encouragement to those who hear. (Colossians 4:6 WEB)
We rebuke the enemy and any spirits of discord, strife, or division that may be at work. We ask, Lord Jesus, that You would protect this family and keep unity among them. (John 17:11 WEB)
We also continue to pray for this person's health, that You would heal and strengthen them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May they be a source of blessing and encouragement to the family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for this family member, trusting that God is able to bring about change and restoration. "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective." (James 5:16 WEB)
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as He is our mediator and the way to the Father. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
